Just laid off, worked as Services Operations Analyst for 2.7 years in Australia, mainly deals, sales, professional services , SFDC CPQ , opportunity life cycle, quote to cash billing process, operations management,other experience in market research and CRM for 6 years with recent masters of information systems post graduation with distinction. What certification would help me and how much should I be expecting for remote roles? Open for remote, hybrid , onsite. Any lead would be appreciated🤞🏻

If you don't have Admin, get that.

Then, based on your experience, CPQ Specialist + Trailhead Billing Super-Set (2 superbadges).

App Builder is useful, and many employers look for Advanced Admin (even though it's less useful than App Builder, IMO).

If you get all that (in that order), the AI ones are free right now, just not particularly useful. And Business Analyst is a good curriculum to study, more than the cert itself is useful to have.

Thanks a lot. Just yesterday got my first ever Salesforce AI cert. Would definitely follow the path. 👍

CPQ is still very very hot in the US and there aren't enough people who know it. If you have experience in CPQ then you can probably get a good job without any certs at all.

What certs you'd want to focus on depends on what you want to be when you grow up. Explain that to me and I'll try to recommend your first certs.

Thanks. I have used CPQ as a user, the end-to-end Opportunity lifecycle, the quote-to-cash process, project management in Kimble PSA, and mapping business processes and continuously improving them, so I am in doubt about where to start now. Administrator one is the first step, but I’m still exploring what to do next as I enjoy this ecosystem and want to grow my career more in the field where there are many more opportunities in the future.
